A pair of roads in the city of Elgin will soon undergo improvements and city officials want to hear from residents.
A community engagement meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, at First Baptist Church in Elgin, 13916 County Line Road. Fittingly, County Line Road is one of the roads undergoing improvements and Kennedy Street is the other.
The meeting is an opportunity for Elgin residents and businesses to learn about the planned roadway and drainage improvements, understand how construction may affect traffic and access in the area, and ask questions of city staff and project engineers.
“This project represents a meaningful investment in Elgin’s infrastructure, and we want to make sure our community has the information they need before construction begins,” said Mayor Theresa McShan. “We encourage residents and business owners near the project area to join us on April 14 so they can ask questions and hear directly from the project team.”
The County Line Road Phase II and Kennedy Street project is funded through a $10,940,981 Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation award from the Texas General Land Office, supplemented by developer fees. The GLO grant, part of a broader $28 million Bastrop County infrastructure investment, was awarded to address repetitive flooding in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods impacted by the 2015, 2016 and 2017 storms.
